Thank you for all the great suggestions. It is refreshing and encouraging to see such a fantastic group of enthusiasts who are so eager and willing to share their experiences. I now have 230 miles on my new Z3 and am like a kid with a new toy every time I get in her for a spin. Hopefully this perfect storm that is going to hit us on the east coast will leave us as quick as it is about to unleash its furry upon on us. I can't wait to experience the thrill of driving a 3.0i with the top down.
